NOUS Swedish nightingale" died in
her home in England, Nov. I'd. She was
sc years of age. Jenny Lind visited this
country on a professional todr thirty

COLONEL NICHOLAS SMITH, who married
Horace Greeley's daughter Ida, is said to
he Overwhelmed with financial embarrass-
meats and unable to pay the board of
his wife and children, who are now shell
tered by friend at Shelbyville, Ky.
When married Col. Smith was known as
professional beauty, just too sweet to

ter of Horace Greeley gave him nation
al notoriety that turned his silly head
and time destroyed his beauty. Poor
Nicholas!

The French government has decided
that five persons are to be tried for culp-
able negligence, leading to the destruc-
tion of the Theater Comique by fire and
the loss of many lives. If it is possible
to convict them, good beginning in
good work will be made.
An interesting checker tourney has
just been finished in Chicago, in which
several of the best players in America
participated. James Reed, Jr., Pitts
burg; Charles Hefter, Chicago; and III. c.
Wright, CT Boston, were among the com
petitioners. Mr.. Reed won by small
margin, with Hefter second.
THERE never has been such widespread
opposition to the infiction of just penal
ties as that made against the execution OF
the Anarchists. The reason is that it is
the turning point in decisive battle fol-
and against law, order and Justice.

For the Senate,

The contestants for Florida's vacant
seat in the Federal Senate still rest their
hopes on the good will of the people and
the record won in the past without reli-
ance on the extraneous support of boOms.
Laborious and persistent attempts, be-
gun long ago, have been at least neutral
lied recently, and Bloxham will go be-
fore the Legislature strong in his per-
sonal following, strong in the gratitude
won by the Disston Sale, but weighted
down in the race by the interested advo-
cacy and discredited support of the
Times Union.
Pasco and others wait in quiet ex-
pectancy, realizing that they only bide
their time. The people are never I'M
mindful of those who fight their battles
the South remembers those who were her
true sons in all times of difficulty and
danger, and true men everywhere rec
ognize work done under the dictates of
conscience as praiseworthy. however the
issue may brand it with success or fail
ure. Washington would not have been
less loved and honored had his greatness
succumbed to the horrors of Valley
hind.
There has been no ..bOom" for Perry
and his position is one to which he has
climbed by hard work, faithful endeavor
and long service. In the forum as on
the field his sound advice has been con-
fidently invoked-his Jealous service has
been always at the command of the
people and when the stern tug of fiercest
battle comes his calm strength is a refuge
to his friend and terror to the foe. He
is no politician, as he was never noted
for brilliant recklessness in warm
times of excitement he is rock amid
the waves. His friends never apologize
for any attitude assumed by E. A
Perry-his actions need no explanations
and his associations speak a language
easily recognized. If his people throw
upon his shoulders the weight of still
heavier responsibility there will be no
dropping under the load; the strength to
meet the burden is already there. If the
mantle of popular favor descends on an
other, the new Senator will find no bit
terness in Perry's heart. and may rely al
ways ON his firmest support in the future
as in the past With thinking men who
know him best he stands firmest of all,
cool in danger, strong in attack. kindin
peace and irreproachable in defeat.
Florida has many sons to any one of
whom she might proudly point as her
representative in Washington. The
choice between them rests with those to
whom her people and her laws have re-
ferred to arbitrament. We shall look for
the decision with interest and bow To it
with pleasure because we have no fear
that the members of the next Legisla-
ture will make an unworthy choice

Babel ;sediviyus.
Demorest'~ Monthly, April.

A mania for tall towers seems to be de-
veloping in Europe. The Queens jubilee
is to- be celebrated by the erection of an
unusually high tower The proportions
are not yet decided upon, but it will be
something unique and astonishing. The
French have broken ground for the 200
feet high structure. which is to be ready
in time for the international exhibition
which is to be opened in the Spring of SO.
This really wonderful tower has been
already described in these columns. Now
it seems that Belgium, which is to have
an international exhibition at Brussels in
1883. contemplates building a wooden
tower of very great height The French
do not like this enterprise. as il will make
their /, 900 feet-high iron tower seem like
copy of the Belgian structure, which
is to be completed a year earlier. As
yet, there is no proposition to erect a
tower in this country but If the Eu-
ropean enterprises are successful IN at
tracing attention and paving, We Will
have one here as a matter of course
Some years ago, an ambitious Ameri-
can architect proposed that New York
should hold an international exhibition,
end erect for il a structure which should
be distinguished by having a dome so
Large and high that il could be seen with
a telescope from Washington or Boston
We like big things in this country, but
We want them to be useful in some way
and To pay. A high tower with an ele-
vator would probably prove attractive to
hundreds of thousands of people, who
would willingly give their money to over
look the enormous stretch of country at
their feet. But dome TO look up at
might be very impressive, but there
would be no money in it.

Hypnotism has been employed with con-
siderable success in Paris for some time
past by Charcot and others in the treat
ment of hysterical disorders, but . case
just related by NJ. Clovis Hughes in The
France il perhaps the most successful ex-
ample Of its application so far recorded
A young lady Of ~ was attacked six
months ago with Il nervous aiiment which
completely deprived her OF the use Of her
voice. Electricity was tried, and with a
certain amount of success at first, but IL
lost its effect after a time and it was at
length abandoned in despair.
As last resource her friends applied to
DIR. Berillon, the hypnotic specialist, and
after a consultation with Charcot he de
ciCled to undertake the case. After having
brought on the mesmeric trance by the
usual means he suggested" to the pa
tient to say II am 20'' rs soon as she
awoke. A minute afterward she opened
her eyes, and at once uttered the words
without the least trace OF an effort; but
there her power of articulation ended.
The next day the suggestion was that she
should converse With the doctor. and this
she did with ease, though she could not
exchange a single remark with any one
else present. Finally, at the third seance,
DIR. Berillon ordered her to speak when
ever and with whomsoever she pleased
thencefOrward. Since that time she has
been able to use her tongue freely, and her
voice is as clear and distinct as il was
before the attack--St- James Gazette.
